Hoping someone here can help me. I'm pretty new to the self-maintenance and repair of my 2003 TDI (just moved to a house so can stop using the stealership HOPEFULLY!) and need some advise / recommendations. As I was driving home this evening my MIL light came on.
I have a couple of questions - 1) I'm supposed to drive to Chicago in the morning (about 250 miles each way) am I SOL? 2) I've done a couple of services / "upgrades" in the past week - could any of these contribute to this? I did the Ventectomy, the "Mandatory Service" that GeWilli strongly recommends (cleaning of the air screen (left intact)), as well as the MAF "fix" by adding the Dielectric connector grease to the MAF connector.
Doesn't appear that I've lost any power, and everything appears to be running fine - just the light illuminates. I have turned off / turned on the engine several times to see if it would clear - it does stay off for a couple of minutes and then comes back on.
Any suggestions / tips, or advise on my trip to Chicago or on correcting this problem without the involvement of being ripped of by the stealer?
Thanks for any assistance you can provide me.
